[N] You gotta have a strong heart to live in New York
You gotta have strong lungs to live in New York
You gotta have a strong skin to live in New York
You gotta have THUNGS to live in New York
You gotta pick it up real hard to live in New York
You gotta pick it up SOLID to live in New York
You gotta have love and cash to live in New York
You gotta have love and cash to live in New York
Racing high and rolling low, racing years and friends we know
[C] On and on and on and on, from midnight to the [Abm] break of dawn
I shiver in the shower, [N] stuttering on the phone, wonder why I'm even asking for
Get the love now, eat your pain, I guess that's what we're given
You gotta have a strong heart to live in New York
You gotta have strong lungs to live in New York
You gotta have a strong skin [C] to live in New York

[C] Right, right, right, right, [G] right
Right, right, right, right, right, right
[C]
Why [G] don't you move into [Eb] the loser's closet [N] there
And you could prove Monet was part Picasso and [G] not
I should've moved at the hotel
To his back road to get caught by El Nino
On the spot, it's New York, baby
And [E] I'm like the priest at [N] B.B. Neese
Lonely place, so tease me
I'm an [C] apple [G] sneeze
I feel the cold like a disease

[B]
Dream from a [C] dreamer

[Em] [G]
[Em] [C]
[E] I'm [B] breathing on my own, all alone
I've got to bring the music home
I'm [G] on my own, on my own
I'm not getting anywhere, no
[N] I should have a little rest, I have a little fun
I wonder why I'm [Em] not
I'm resting on
I have to move, I feel cool
[Dbm] Once, move and [N] twice continue
Go [Em] [N] southwest, something
